Publisher's Summary:

Presented in conjunction with The Future of Music Coalition

Eyes on the Prize, the award-winning 1986 documentary series, includes a scene of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s staff singing to him on his 39th, and last, birthday in 1968. But because of the copyright on "Happy Birthday" the scene was almost cut...producers were worried they couldn't afford it. (The film itself is currently unavailable to a new audience because of expired copyright licenses.) A conversation about how the rights and clearance system impacts the creative process and how we can find ways for musicians and filmmakers to have both the freedom and compensation to create lasting art.

This panel is moderated by Rick Karr. The panelists are Rena Kosersky, Music Rights Supervisor, Eyes on the Prize; Jeff Tuchman, producer, director, writer; Peter Jaszi, School of Communication, American University; Orlando Bagwell, Ford Foundation; Richard B. Heller, Esq., Partner, Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, PC; and Michael Hausman, music manager and co-founder, United Musicians.

This panel took place at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Thursday, April 28, 2005.
